I Want to Hear a Poem

I want to hear a poem I want to hear a poem about a perfect world A world with no lies A world with no pain A world with only happiness A world with peace I want to hear a poem about laughter Laughter with your friends Laughter with your family Laughter in your head I want to hear a poem about joy. Joy on Christmas morning Joy at a family dinner Joy on your wedding day Joy at a random moment I want to hear a poem about success Success with your job Success at school Success at a dream I want to hear a poem about love Love that is new Love that is 60 years old and going strong Love that lasts forever I want to hear a poem about smiles The first smile on your babies face The smile of a champion The smile of an innocent child with candy I just want to hear a poem
